Why Crochet The Cosy Stripe Blanket?
This vibrant crochet blanket pattern has been loved by hundreds of crocheters! It features simple but stunning color stripes that you can work into any palette to match your home decor. It’s also a great project for beginners to practice changing yarn colors. The blanket can be easily made into any size, which makes it a super versatile pattern.
How Much Yarn Will I Need?
For a single-bed-size blanket (47” x 70”/120 cm x 180 cm), Lucy recommends using 15 balls of Stylecraft Special DK (100g) yarn. If you tend to crochet loosely, you might need to adjust the starting chain. Otherwise, you may achieve a different blanket size and may need more yarn.
Stitches Used In This Crochet Blanket Pattern
The Cosy Stripe Blanket is a beginner-friendly pattern that uses just one stitch – double crochet. You will work these stitches in alternating rows of simple double crochets and double crochet clusters for a nice textured effect. The colors are switched after every two rows.
The designer provides step-by-step photo tutorials to help those with little experience complete their own blankets.
How to Extend the Blanket for a Bigger Bed?
You can easily transform this striped crochet baby blanket to any size, be it a baby blanket or a king-sized bedspread. To make it wider, add stitches to the initial chain – just make sure your total number is a multiple of 3. Increasing the length of your blanket is even easier. You simply need to continue working the next rows until you reach the desired size.
